I'm the asshole who liked the og show and host Killborn. I didn't watch it initially when Stewart took over. It was a different show... Man what an idiot I was.... While I liked the og version Stewart made it so much better. Glad to see him back in some form.
I liked Craig too, that was a fun era for Comedy Central. I remember they played a lot of Absolutely Fabulous and Viva Variety back then. Good times.
It's really better to think of them as two completely different shows both with very different philosophies and strengths. One just happened to begin when the other ended. Also Jon's show took a while to find its legs.
Kilborn had a comedy show that looked like a news show. Even the interviews of the daily guest had a zany, fake-pressure vibe.
Stewart used comedy to get people engaged in a news show. Everyone else that has tried has either had too much comedy, or too much news. Too much news sounds like video essays and too much comedy isn't as impactful.
I liked the Kilborn show. He kind of an asshole, but I'm not one to hold that against people. But I feel we need the Stewart show.
Yep. Agreed on everything
I remember the original ads of "it's the same Daily show, but now under 6 feet tall" or whatever
You reminded me to go back and find the Waco, TX promo. So much nostalgia.
Same. I wrote to Comedy Central and said the show would never be funny again. Ha.
